My Dad bought a 2010 Chevy Silverado. It must have been designed exclusively for him because it gives him reminders of work that needs to be done, or a door that isn't shut tight.
This is not just a ding (which wouldn't help because he is hard of hearing), but a message that comes up on the dash.
It also allows him to call, hands free, using OnStar, any number he can speak.
I love driving his truck because it is very comfortable and has awesome power (it has to pull a bass boat).
The most important reason I like driving his truck is that I don't have to pay for gas!

PowerPOD 360
I try to keep up with technology. I usually ask my kids if I need to know something. They fill me in.
Finally found something to talk about.
I was at Sam's yesterday where a guy was demoing a speaker for ipods and such. It's called a 360 Vibration Speaker.
The more porous the thing you sit it on, the louder it plays.
For instance its not so loud when it sits on a table, but when you set it on a styrofoam cooler, it goes louder.
It works by sound waves coming out of the bottom. When you allow sound waves to vibrate through a porous object, it amplifies the sound.
